This gathering was described as a "dinner," "masked ball," and "old clothes party," by William F. O'Ncil, Ohio tire magnate, one of the triumvirate of backers of the Equitable bubble. State Senator John A. Hastings, the Equitable's "politiral contact man" was at the gathering also, O'Ncil testified, which included tha sponsors of the bus enterprise and some 150 others.

The Brooklyn senator continued to be the principal character as Seabury unfolded the Equitabla case. Protested F.nfertaining O'Ncil, although at no time willing witness, acknowledged that he had criticized the administration of the bus firm's $282,000 "trustea fund" because he thought too much of it was being spent on "entertaining John Hastings." O'Nell said ha didn't see why the Senator should be "entertained" out of the fund when he was already on the Equitable payroll at $1,000 a month. The tire man also revealed that he had placed the Senator on hii company's payroll at from $1,000 to $1,500 a month between November 1927 and January 1829, and that Hastings received about $21,000, in this way. Hastings, he said, was hired as a "tire salrrman." In addition, O'Nell said he had loaned the Brooklyn Senator Just before Christmas, 19:8, which Hastings has not paid back. Frank R.

Green, making his first reply to Congressional critics, who have cried "scandal" in regard to the lease of two Army Base piers in South Brooklyn. Mr. Green characterized as "inaccurate" statements of Representative Robert H. Clancy of Michigan and said that the official records of the Shipping Board would show the company "not pirating and pillaging, but rendering a real service to Brooklyn and the Government." Representative Clancy estimated the rental of Pier 4 to the North German Lloyd for its speed queens, the Bremen and the Europa, as "from $350,000 to $400,000 a year." Today Mr.

Representative Patman Texas), a leading advocate of full payment of the bonus, charged before the House Ways and Means Committee that the Secretary would get millions and said the action would amount to an "inside burglary of the Treasury He later withdrew the charge after Democrats and Republicans on the committee came alike to the defense of Mills. Crisp Barks Secretary Acting Chairman Crisp said the Secretary had declined to comment on the provision because he would be a beneficiary under it. Patman was attempting to refute the arguments of Mills and Eugene Meyer, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, have made against the issuance of two billion dollars of new currency to redeem the outstanding bonus certificates. He offered to modify his plan to provide for the Issuance of bonds which he said would control the expansion. Turning then to the secretary, the Texan assailed the section of the tax bill which allows 18.

William Schroeder head of the Department of Sanitation. The new charge was made in a letter to the Board of Estimate by C. R. Van Ettcn, president of the Brooklyn Ash Removal Company, which has a five-year contract with the city for the removal of ashes, garbnee and rubbish. Charles S.

Van Etten complained that the Department of Sanitation was not giving the company credit for the full amount of refuse removed and was causing it losses running into thousands of dollars. Frequent appeals to Dr. Shroeder, the letter continued, had been of no avail and "we are victims of sharp practice which in business would be considered cheating."

Capone, giving up hope at last, packed his belongings soon after arising at the county jail.

The gang leader has been in Jail since Oct. 24, last, when Federal Judge Wilkerson sentenced him to 11 years, fined him $50,000 and refused to grant him bail. The time Capone has spent in jail does not apply on his prison term. Capone Protests Meanwhile the notorious Capone spoke his mind. "It's not fair," he is reported to have said in his cell when news of the Supreme Court's action was received.

"I'm the victim of public clamor. My sentence should have been two and one-half years, but Just because I went to a few baseball games they made it 11 years. I'm still willirg to fight It if my lawyers are with me." The short sentence Capone referred to was reported to have been recommended by Federal prosecutors in consideration of Capone's plea of guilty, which he subsequently withdrew when Judge Wilkerson declined to be bound by any agreement. Capone's mother was with him when the news came from Washington. He refused to see newspapermen, but jail attaches said he was furious.

Defeat Faces Veterans Fund Slash in House Leaders Aim to, Force Separate Votes to Put Insurgents on Record Washington, May 3 (IP) Uneom promising revolts in the House today undertook the final dismantling of the Economy bill. Big cuts in veterans' allowances amounting in all to some $48,000,000, were at issue. Few disputed that most, if not all. of this section of the bill would be thrown out.

The defeated leaders rested their chances on forcing the members to put their names down on roll calls on each major section rejected. This procedure, permitted after the amending process is completed, was to be the final step before passage of the bill, tentatively set for this evening. Pension Bill Passed The record votes, the leaders hoped, would find a great many members deserting the opposition to void the wrath of economy-seeking constituents who will have the final say in the November elections. Meanwhile Representative Rankin of Mississippi, chairman of the World War Veterans Committee, served notice today he would have to strike out the entire title dealing with World War veterans' benefits, whirh affects 123,320 persons. Cabinet Studies Move At an unusually long meeting with President Hoover this morning members of his Cabinet discussed the economy problem.

The Chief Executive still entertains hope that more favorable con sideration will be given to his five-day week and payless furlough proposal for Federal employes. The disposition of the House on veterans' matters was well attested yesterday in its passage, 318 to 16, of a pension bill for widows and orphans of World War soldiers, a measure that within five years is expected to be costing the nation a round $100,000,000 annually.

Police Free to Seize All in City if Appellate Division Is Upheld by High Tribunal on Ap peal in Herman Case i Slot machine operation in Brooklyn and throughout the city is due for a knockout blow if the Court of Appeals affirms a decision of the Brooklyn Appellate Division in a case scheduled to be argued in the higher court next month.

On the basis of the victory he won in the Appellate Division on Feb. 19 last, Assistant Corporation Counsel Joseph Reilly, who is to argue the appeal not only expects another victory in this new litigation but a clear-cut decision that will be guiding and give the police unrestricted authority to seize the machines wherever found, whether in operation or in storage. Such a decision would enable the police to put out of commission all of the machines in operation in the entire city, which are estimated at. o.uuu witn an income 01 more than $25,000,000 a year. Police Hampered As a result of a Court of Appeals decision last July that the machines were not inherently gambling devices and that criminal prosecutions could be successful only when direct evidence of gambling could be obtained, the police -have been hampered in confiscating the machines.

The Appellate Division decision, which was without written opinion and given by a divided court, has opened the way for a new decision by the higher court. The Appellate Division decision affirmed a Judgment of Supreme Court Justice Druhan against Arthur Herman of 1340 50th who sought to replevin 82 of the machines of which he claimed to be the owner and which were seized by the police on June 12, 1930, in the warehouse of J. A. Anderson Eons, 57th St. and 21st Ave.

Druhan's Remarks Justice Druhan did not write an opinion, but in dismissing the suit remarked: "These machines are cleraly gam-filing instruments end the police should be commended for seizing them." Herman appealed but did not press the case until the Court of Appeals decision last July held that the mint-vending machines were not gambling devices per se although they could be converted Into gambling appliances. The decision was hailed by the slot machine interests as a great victory. Leo P.
